UFC 319 Complete Breakdown: Chimaev Destroys Du Plessis + Back-to-Back Spinning Elbow Finishes
The Ringside Report crew thought they were settling in for just another UFC pay-per-view watch along. Armed with bloody caesars and jalapeno chips, Dave Simon, AJ D’Alesio, and Fred Garcia had no idea they were about to witness the most unprecedented sequence in UFC history—back-to-back spinning elbow knockouts that would leave one fighter hospitalized and rewrite the record books. What started as casual commentary quickly turned to stunned silence as Carlos Prates dropped Geoff Neal with a perfectly timed spinning elbow in the dying seconds of their first round. “Spinning back elbow knocks him out! It’s over!” Dave shouted, but the real shock was yet to come. Just one fight later, as Aaron Pico seemed to be dominating Lerone Murphy on the ground, lightning struck twice. Murphy’s spinning elbow caught Pico flush on the temple, leaving the prospect unconscious and motionless. “Back to back spinners, that’s never happened in UFC,” AJ said in disbelief, capturing the historic nature of what they’d just witnessed. But the night’s biggest story was still to unfold in the main event, where Khamzat Chimaev would deliver a wrestling masterclass so dominant that it left champion Dricus du Plessis looking “like a guy who’s just been deflated,” according to AJ’s ringside analysis. The crew’s live reactions—from technical breakdowns to genuine concern for fighter safety—provided the perfect soundtrack to a night that reminded everyone why MMA remains the most unpredictable sport on earth.
